Alright, I somehow figured it out =P Feedback plx? =] Do keep in mind this has been done without a tablet ^^

The houndoom one is good, I tend to avoid doing 3/4 view badges as it makes them look more like a stylised drawing of a pokemon.
The front view and side views give it a more symbolic look that makes it more badge like, but personal preference.

Thnx for the feedback ^^
I do agree with you, am still figuring it all out a bit though, am not the greatest as getting them symbolic, though I do think you can see improvement from left to right!
Would you have any pointers on how to make them look more symbolic?

do you have any tips like i want to make a badge but i don't want to have photoshop for example witch one should i use gimp or paint.net? and imagein the world without photoshop and only these tow witch one is best to use?

I have used neither - So I honestly wouldn't have a choice, but I think I woul suggest maybe GIMP, as that has layer abilities.

Hey, Northern Lights! Been working on this last night and came up with this:

Shiny Buizel tails

I found a new way to shade instead of changing the colour. Well, new for me. It's using the Dodge/Burn tool. I think it looks good compared to my laxst one, but I'd like some feedback, please.

EDIT:

Made shrink size from 70 to 100. I think it looks better that way. Anyway, its a Pikachu Badge.

using the burn and dodge tools is a good idea, you just need to make sure you can keep the streaks at the same angle

Thanx for the awesome Video and tutorial NL =D

Note: I've done this without using any tablet =)

Oh wow, that's really good - you got the same style as me down too, well done!
and without a tablet is amazing, my mouse work is really dodgy because my mouse keeps sticking for some reason *rolls eyes*

Yeah... that happens to me as well. I use a notebook computer, so i don't have a real mouse, but when i do, i can't work properly.

Take everything you read on this account with a grain of salt. I used to be a bit of a jerk~
I used to be here.
But now I'm not.
It was fun though~

I just wanted to post them out in an actual thread here, so thanks to your pixel tutorial, yesterday I made these

I will probably end up redoing the roses on the roselia badges though, but right now I am not entirely sure how I should fix them.

edit:
Here are v2 of the roselia badges.

The Roselia badges have definatly improved, and good work on the Pixel style too, havn't seen many people trying the Pixel style, but you've got it good =]

Thanks, here are a few more I have worked on.

I don't have Photoshop on my laptop, but I do have it on my desktop. However, it's an older version (PS5, or something), and that makes things rather difficult.

I'm REALLY confused at the layers thing. I'm not sure if I should create a layer, make my drawing on that, and create a layer UNDER it, or if I should make the image on the background.

It also doesn't help that I lack the ability to directly manipulate my objects...

It won't work on PS5 - I used PS5 for my Photography exam, you can't seem to highlight the objects within a layer using the trick I did, and i'm not sure how else you would do it for two layers at a time. =[
